Avrdude For Mac

Now that avrdude is compiled and installed you can verify the expected version 6.1 is installed. Run the 'avrdude -v' command (without quotes) and check that you see output like the following with version 6.1.

AVRDUDEis a utility todownload/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM contents of AVRmicrocontrollers using the in-system programming technique (ISP).

  1. AVRDude does not play well with the new Atmel ICE controller on OSX — the OS enumerates the device and makes it impossible for AVRDude to access. If you’re here, it’s likely because of this.
  2. The utility called avrdude can program processors using the contents of the.HEX files specified on the command line. With the command below, the file main.hex will be burned into the flash memory. The -p attiny13 option lets avrdude know that we are operating on an ATtiny13 chip. In other words – this option specifies the device.
  3. A GUI Interface for the popular avrdude program. Written in C using MFC, compiled with visual studio 2002, statically linked. This program is distributed under the terms of the GPL v3 License.

History

Catalina

AVRDUDE has once been started by Brian S. Dean as a private projectof an in-system programmer for the Atmel AVR microcontroller series,as part of the Opensource and free software tools collection available forthese controllers. Originally, the software was written for the FreeBSD operating system,maintained in a private CVS repository, and distributed under the nameavrprog.

Due to the growing interest in porting the software to otheroperating systems, Briandecided to make the project publically accessible onsavannah.nongnu.org. The name change to AVRDUDE has been chosen toresolve the ambiguity with the avrprog utility as distributedby Atmel together with their AVRstudio software.

Main features

The major features of AVRDUDE include:

  • Command-line driven user interface for all downloading and uploading features (including handling fuse bytes), for easy automation e. g. by inclusion into Makefiles.
  • Interactive examination and modification of various memory regions in so-called terminal mode. Also offered is an option to modify the operational parameters of an Atmel STK500 board (target voltage, VAref, master clock frequency).
  • Known to run on all major POSIX-style operating systems, as well as Win32 platforms. By using existing operating system drivers on the POSIX-style systems, secure parallel-port access without root privileges can be maintained. On Win32 platforms, parallel port access requires the previous installation of a driver (giveio.sys) that grants a user process direct access to the IO registers.
  • Supports a wide range of programming hardware, from cheap ISP plugs that connect the AVR's ISP interface directly to a computer's parallel port (no additional circuitry) or serial port (some additional circuitry needed), more advanced ISP adapters using a buffer/driver chip (like a 74HC373), up to (more complex) serially connected programmers like AVR910-style ISP devices, the Atmel STK500 board, and the Atmel JTAG ICE mkII. Most popular adapters come pre-defined, adding a new parallel-port adapter is as simple as editing a configuration file (no recompilation needed).
  • Supports Intel Hex, Motorola S-Record, and raw binary files for input and output, as well as direct memory contents specification on the command-line (useful e. g. for fuse bytes). On input, the file format can be auto-detected.
  • In 'terminal mode', the device's memory areas can be examined, and possibly modified. This allows to set fuses interactively, or to modify a few EEPROM cells.
